Lea, former- ly of Sheffield University, who presented the paper, said the new method of power transmission also could be applied to airplanes, ships and railroad trains. New Method of Transmission It was understood an English company was being formed to pro- mote the invention, credited by Prof, Lea to Commendatore Piero Salerni, an Italian engincer living in England. Claims for the gearless car--in which a centrifugal pump replaces the gear box and clutch--are that it would use less gasoline, increase tire mileage and quicken accelera- tion. Prof. Lea raid he based his con- clusions on tests of more than 65,000 miles with such an auto- mobile. . Substitution of the pump sys- tem for the orthodox clutch and gear box, he said, "results in im- provement of performance . . . in getaway, general acceleration, hill climbing and drive on the open road." S'mple, Sound Construction "The driver, over long distances in traffic and climbing hills, is not wearied by de-clutching. and gear-changing," he said. "Mechanical construction of the transmitter is in every way simple and sound; as compared with the orthodox clutch and gear mech- anism, it is simpler and less cost- ly and its overall efficiency is ap- parently greater. "Its scope transcends the field of the automobile and should in- clude vehicles of every kind driv- en by internal combustion engines both of the gasoline and heavy oil type." . Certain Birds Found Gullible Scientists Study How Many Can Be Induced to Try Hatching Gelf Balls A London ornithologist, F. B. Kirkman, told the psychological section of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, last week, of a painstaking study of feather frustration. Ho spent weeks watching birds sit on rubber balls, golf balls, camphor balls and cotton reels. A blackheaded gull sat for 22 days, trying to hatch a rubber ball. Other birds sat on the round ob- jects for periods ranging from 414 to 22 days without getting anything but a sense of frustration. Sat For 22 Days But, with the true British regret, Kirkman reported: "One bird would not accept a cricket ball. It tried to. There was no lack of enthusiasm and it made a most heroic effort but only suc- ceeded in rolling off on the othe side." } Ontario Fruit Yield Is Better Than Average Cherry Crop 128,000 Bushels, and Peaches 2 Per Cent Above Usual Ontario fruit growers probably will experience a better than aver- age fruit crop this year, the August report of the Ontario Fruit and Vegetable Statistics Committee in- dicates, The cherry crop this year is esti- mated at 128,370 bushels, just 26 per cent. higher than last year, Harvesting of peaches is unusually early this year and the main crop now is. being placed on the market. Productfon .estimated - at 536,214 bushels is 2 per cent. better than last year. i Apple Production Up Apple production dn Eastern On. tarfo fs up an estimated 30 per cent. at 317,720 barrels, tut n Western Ontario this year likely will be 375,700 barrels, down 25 per cent. from last year, = While scab and sideworm injury are severe in some apple orchards, - fungi and insect pests generally are under fair control in well-cared- for commercial orchards, Graperles in Western Ontario generally have a healthy. condition.

Place.~~The location of Ramah has not yet been exactly identified; Mizpah was in Benjamin on the road from Jerusalem to Shechem; Endor was four miles south of Mount Tabor. Mount Gilboa, the top of which is seventeen hundred feet above sea-level, was on" the great plain of Jezreel in the cen- tre of Palestine. Saul was Israels first king. The same "Saul" is usually regarded as the passive participle of the verb "to ask," and so means simply "asked". Saul was the son of Kish, of the tribe of Benjamin, the fight- ing tribe of Israel. Saul's home was at Gibeah, usually identified with Tell el-Ful, a town about midway between Ramah and Jeru- salem. Iixcavations carried on by the American School of Oriental Research in 1922 show that the site was occupied in the Canaan- ite period and was strongly forti- fied at the time of Saul and David. Sometime after Samuel's pri- vate anointing of Saul, the prophet called all of Israel together at Mizpah. Chosen King _ 21. And he brought the tribe of Benjamin near by their fam- ilies; and the far:ily of the Mat- rites was taken; and Saul the son of Kish was taken; but when they sought him, he could not be found. Of the family of the Matrites we know nothing, for it is never referred to in the Bible outside of this passage. 22. Therefore they asked of Jehovah further: Is there yet a man to come hither? And Jcho- vah answered, Behold, he hath hii himself among the baggage. Saul shared the feeling that constrain- ed Moses to shrink back when he was appointed to deliver Israel from Egypt. 23. And they ran and fetched him thence; and when he stood among the people, he was higher than any of the people from his shoulders and upward. 24. And Samuel said to all the people, Sce ye him whom Jehovah hath chos- en, that there is none like him among all the people? And all the people shouted, and said, Long live the king. 25. Then Samuel told the peo- ple the manner of the kingdom, and wrote it in a book, and laid it up before Jehovah. And Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house. This was, as it were, a charter at the beginning of the Hebrew monarchy, probab- ly defining the position of the king, both in his relation to God - and in his relation to the people. Israel demanded that the king should possess all the natural at- tractions which the Israelites would desire in a king. He would reflect their religibus standpoint at its best, but also he would rep- resent their national failings and the great defect of their religious life, namely, a combining of zeal for the religion of Jehovah and utter want of real heart submis- sion to the Lord. The weople ob- tained precisely what { 'y want- ed; and because he who was their king so corresponded to their ideal and so reflected the national state, he failed. Saul's Disobedience Considerable time elapses be- tween the day of Saul's public anointing before Israel and the story which we are now to con- sider. Saul had completely reor- ganized the army, had inflicted a terrific defeat upon the Philistines at Michmash, and then had gone out against Israel's old enemies, the Amalekiies, The time had now come for the execution of God's sentence of destruction de- ~ clared many years before. God had told Saul through Samuel that he was to destroy utterly all the possessions and property of Amalek, and evefy member of the tribe, every man, every woman, every child. Saul carried out God's instruction to destroy all the peo- ple, but Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, and of the oxen, and of the fatlings, and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not utterly destroy them. The sparing of the prey was a matter of pure greed, The sin of Saul was delib- erate. It was the sin of putting his will before God's will, and this was the great moral tragedy in Saul's life, 20, And Saul said unto Sam- uel, Yea, I have obeyed the voice of Jehovah, and have goné the way which Jehovah sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroy- ed the Amalekites. 21. But the people took of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the chief of the devoted things, to sacrifice unto Jehovah thy God in Gilgal. 22. And Sam- uel said, Hath Jehovah as great delight in burnt-offerings and sac- rifices, as in obeying the voice of Jehovah? Behold, to obey is bet- ter than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. 23. For re- bellion is as the sin of witcheraft, and stubbornness is as idolatry and teraphim. Because thou hast rejected the word of Jehovah, he hath alsa rejected thee from being king. Saul still continues, as guil- ty people often will, to justify his conduct, though, down. in . his. heart, he must have known that there was no real justification for what he had done. With a burst of prophetic inspiration Samuel rends asunder Saul's tissue of ex- cuses, and lays bare his sin. Saul now confesses his sin, and Sam- uel had solemnly to tell him that he could no longer go with the king as he appeared before the people. Many years have passed in Saul's life, and we find him now a man stripped of power, fearful, walking in the darkness of his own counsels, rushing headlong to the doom that is immediately before him. The episode recorded in chapter 28 is one of the most fam- ous in all the Old Testament. Defeated And Slain 3. And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers overtook him; and he was greatly distressed by reason of the ar- chers. 4. Then said Saul to his armorbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith, lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armorbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. Therefore Saul took his sword, and fell up- on it.- 5. And when his armor- bearer saw that Saul was dead, he likewise fell upon his sword, and died with him. 6. So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armor- bearer, and all his men, that same day together. te Bell-Ringing Bird Killed Farm Hands Get Strange Creat- ure After It Had Caught Crow WARDSVILLE, Ont. -- With their attention attracted by a wild commotion of flapping wings and the sound of ringing bells high above their heads, harvest hands working on the farm belonging to J. A. King, second concession, Ald- borough Township, were surprised on looking-to see a large bird evi- dently of the raptorial order pursu' ing a erow which it finally pounced on in mid-air and bore to the earth clutched in its powerful claws a short distance away. Frightened by the approach of the men the bird flew to a nearby tree where it sat perched watching every movement of the men. D. Lee, one of the workers, borrowed a neighbouring farmer's gun. and later shot the winged killer while its attention was centred on the men, The bird with a wing spread - measuring two and one half feet was bluish-gray in color and had a small bell securely strapped to each leg. Neither bell bore any identification marks. a -- Captain George E. T. Eyston dons his gas mask before taking his huge car for a Speed run on the Bonneville, Utah, salt flats.

HE SWEETENS SWING Mark Warnow, dynamic young CBS conductor, who reverses the present day order of things by playing swing fmusic in the man- ner of the old classics, is cur- rently heard on the musical va- riety program he originated, "Blue Velvet Music," broad- cast each Wed- nesday over a . nationwide Co- lumbia net- work (WABC- CBS, 9:30 to 10:00 P. M, EDST). "Swing gues", nurs- 'ery rhymes set to music, and "Little Symphon- ies," original miniature symphon- ies composed under Warnow's di- rection, are among his innova- tions in the musical world. The famous stylist made his musical debut as a concert , violinist at Town Hall in New York in 1924. He was director of the Massel Opera Company and led many hit musical comedy orchestras. Mark Warnow NATIONAL FORUM In order to give full expression on the Canadian air to the main conflicting points of view on mat- ters of national and world im- portance, the CBC will continue to sponsor a Sunday night "Na- tional Forum" on current Cana- dian affairs, in addition to the weekly presentation of an inter- national round table discussion on affairs of the world today. The National Forum will continue the main features of the "Whither Democracy" series, broadcast last season. . AIRLANES GOSSIP During the past few weeks the CBC has introduced a number of popular artists on its 15-minute features from Toronto. Gordon Calder, well known vocalist and master of ceremonies, has been placed on Mondays at 12.30 to 12.45 p.m, EDST. The NBC Vox Pop program will continue to be broadcast as usual each Tuesday 9 to 9.30 p.m. EDST over WEAF and the NBC Red Network without any break until after the show of September 13, when Parks Johnson and Wally Butterworth will take a two-weeks vacation before 'transferring their sponsorship affiliation on Satur- day, October 1, when they will broadcast the first program in their new Saturday night series over the NBC Red Network. This will be-the first vacation Vox Pop has had in the nearly seven years the show has been on the air: Frank Black is one of radio's greatest hobby-collectors. He col- lects antiques, rare music manu- scripts, marine paintings and let- ters from great composers of long ago. "BIG TOWN" RETURNS SOON Edward G. Robinson, Radio's No. 1 Racketbuster, returns to the Columbia network with his "Big Town" series on Tuesday, September 20. (WABC-CBS, 8 to 8.30 p.m. EDST.--rebroadcast to the West at 11.830 p.m. EDST.) The dramatic Robinson, supported . by lovely Claire Trevor, will continue to be heard each Tuesday at the same time. Whether portraying a gang- ster as he did in the film "Little Caesar," or a reformer as he does in radio's "Big Town", Robinson carries a force and conviction that has made him. one of the most 'admired actors in the enter- tainment world today. Opposite him in the broadcasts is Claire Trevor, blonde charmer who re- cently married the program's di- rector--Clark Andrews. Robinson is cast as Steve Wilson, managing editor of a newspaper, The "Illus- trated News", Cow Gives Birth To Three Calves EDMONTON, Alta. -- Giving birth to triplets may be something to be proud of, but Daisy Belle, Holstein cow owned' by Adolph Busse, apparently doesn't think so. Daisy Belle, who recently became the mother of two bulls and a hel- fer, has refused to have anything to do with her sons, showering all her affections on the daughter. Since their , birth, 'Mrs. Busse, who named the offspring Pete, Re- peat and Repeater, has fed and car- ed for the bulls, Multiple births among cows is unusual, but the fact that all three are thriving despite the unusually high mortality rate makes them a rarity. sketches starring . 37% [Furry Sea Mammal | HORIZONTAL Answer fo Previous Puzzle 20 Leather strip, 1 Plctured tur- erm ewersy OEY 2 1t ives ip on. animai, JREPIATINIT] LIY ; animal.
